Someone should tell the children.
Someone should tell the children.
Carolyn Hileman
When I grow up; I want to pay the mortgage for someone I don’t even know, when I grow up; I want to bail out greedy bankers, when I grow up I want to owe so much in taxes, that I have to work ten hour days just to make an hours wage. Go ask your children; what do you think they will say? What do you think they will say when they grow up and see what you have given them to pay? When I grow up; I want to protect unappreciative people, you know the kind who send you to war and then turn their back on you if you don’t win in their time table. When I grow up I want to pay for people in another country to get abortions, when I grow up; if I get a chance to grow up at all.
When I grow up I am going to have a few questions for you, like why on earth did you go from being the most advanced country in the world to using outhouses again because somebody told you the sky was falling. I am going to want to know what was so bad about children that you had to enforce laws allowing people to kill them before they were ever born. I am going to want to know where you were when people took the Pledge out of our schools and exactly what was so bad about saying it. When I grow up; you will be older, not old enough to put away in a nursing home somewhere yet, but that day will come, do you want me to treat you the way I saw you treat people? If we are only as good as the work we turn out, what should we do with you when you can no longer work?
When I grow up; that is what they always say isn’t it? They are going to do monumental things, they are going to change the world, or are they, will they be able to? Take a look at that sweet little face and tell them what they have to look forward to, go on I dare you. Sit them down and tell them what is our truth today, tell them that by the time they grow up the taxes will be so high that it might be better if they didn’t work, the only problem with that is that in our society if you cannot give anything you are considered expendable and subject to the whims of those who pay for you to live. Go ahead; tell them why they are the special ones, the ones who got to live, and the ones who were not selectively terminated. Explain it to them, tell them why.
If we are going to continue down this road of high taxes, low income, if any income, selective termination of babies, seriously injured and old, then we might want to work on getting our stories straight. It isn’t because we live in a country where we are not allowed to speak out, it is because we were to afraid someone might say something, we might get embarrassed, do you think that is a good enough explanation, do you think you can look your child in the eye and tell them that? If we are going to destroy their future, don’t you think someone should tell the children?
